Eklent Kaçi is into the Iwan Simonis WPA Men’s 10-Ball World Championship final in Ho Chi Minh City — surviving a five-set scrap with Germany’s Joshua Filler to set up a title match against Poland’s Wojciech Szewczyk.
Saigon — Kaçi books the final
Absolute Pool’s updated results board has Kaçi beating Filler 3–2 in sets (4–2, 2–4, 0–4, 4–1, 4–2 from Kaçi’s side; Filler led mid-match before the Albanian closed it out). That completes the semi-final that was still unfinished in this morning’s Cueball Talk filing. Szewczyk had already booked his half of the final by eliminating Sanjin Pehlivanovic 3–1 (4–0, 4–2, 2–4, 4–1). The final — Szewczyk vs Kaçi — is the last act of the scheduled 19–26 September window; no final score at our midday London filing. Free main-table coverage continues via Billiard TV / Pro Billiard TV and Box Billiards Vietnam’s YouTube streams.
Marrakech — Sharkey–Brennan still to come
Over in Morocco, Donegal’s Shaun Sharkey still waits on his IEPF World Eight-Ball singles semi against Northern Ireland’s Declan Brennan — 18:45 local tonight on the Ultimate Pool Association YouTube channel. No result yet; that one is evening business.
